Saving to SD card
For details on the data that can be saved on SD card, please
see “Data used by the KROSS” on page 100.
The musical data of a song that you create in Sequencer
mode cannot be saved in the KROSS’s internal memory.
You must save this data on a
commercially available SD
card, or save it using MIDI data dump. When you’ve
come up with settings you like, it’s a good idea to save
them, so that even if you subsequently edit those
settings, you’ll always be able to reload the previous
settings if desired.
For details on the SD cards that can be used, and on how to
insert or remove the SD card in the card slot, please see
“Using an SD card” on page 21.
How to save data
Access the MEDIA> FILE page, and
use a function
command to select the data that will be saved on the SD
card.
As an example here, we’ll execute
Save All to save the .PCG
and .SNG files.
“Save All” saves all internal memory Programs,
Combinations, Global settings, Drum Kits, and User
Arpeggio Patterns to media as a .PCG file. It also saves
songs as a .SNG file.
This method is available only if the current directory is
a DOS directory. Press the cursor button ◄ to move
between levels.
1. Make sure that the SD card is in a state that allows
saving. (see “Inserting/removing an SD card” on
page 21)
2. Access the MEDIA> FILE page.
Hold down the EXIT button and press the GLOBAL/
MEDIA button.
Note: If the contents of another file are shown, press the
cursor button
◄.
3. Press the FUNCTION button to access the menu, use
the ▲(PAGE–) or ▼(PAGE+) buttons to select Save
All, and then press the OK (MENU) button.
A dialog box will appear.
4. Press the text edit button and input a filename for the
file you want to save. (see “Editing names”)
5. Press the OK (MENU) button to execute the save
function.
The data will be saved on the SD card, and you will
return to the Save page.
The display will show the file that was saved.
The various types of data are saved as the following files.
• .PCG file
• .SNG file
Cautions when saving
If an identically named file exists on the SD cared
If a file with the same name already exists on the SD card,
you will be asked whether you want to overwrite that data. If
you wish to overwrite, press the OK button. If you want to
save without overwriting,
press the CANCEL button and
rename the file before you save it. For details, please see
page 105.
Please note when saving
• When using
Save All (PCG & SNG), and
Save PCG to
save combinations, you should also remember to save
the programs used by each timbre (or the drum kits, and
user arpeggio patterns used by the programs) at the same
time.
Similarly when saving programs, you should also
remember to save the drum kits, and user arpeggio
patterns used by the programs.
